At Colinton on Sunday Castle Douglas narrowly lost to Inverkeithing in the sem final of the National Top Ten competition.  Graeme Maxwell struggled with the green from the start and suffered a heavy defeat in the singles, losing 21 - 1, but despite this the match wasn’t decided until the last end of the last game.  In the pairs William Brydson and Alan Davies kept up their 100% record in the competition this year by winning 26 - 14.  The triples was very close and Gary Davies, Allan Green and Scott Davies went into the last end one shot up.  They lost a single to tie the game 14 - 14 and earn Castle Douglas a point.  This left the Castle Douglas four of Stewart Gilmour, David Green, William Green and John Crawford needing to win their game to take the team through.  They were three shots down with two ends to play and scored a two in the second last end, and lay another two in the last end.  The Inverkeithing skip took the shot back with his first bowl leaving John needing to ditch the jack to lie the necessary two shots again.  He narrowly missed and so the game ended 17 - 15 to Inverkeithing, and they went through 5 - 3.

In the second semi final Kirkliston convincingly beat Chirnside 8 - 0.

In the final Kirkliston beat Inverkeithing to retain the trophy, the first team to do so.  Castle Douglas took third place by beating Chirnside in the 3rd/4th play off.
